the talk that brother morris is giving at the one day.
assemblies is really getting the witnesses all worked.
i heard his talk last last month and he really.
The "End is here" yet again!
I went through it in the1975 saga, then again in 1986 when 'year of peace' was declared by the UN, again in the late 90s going into Y2K; now even the world is kind of mistified by the year 2012, so I imagine the Org will jump in the doomsday craze too.
Been through so many 'last days' talks and attitudes that I just turn a deaf ear to it; many do the same too, very tired of the Society crying wolf.

he came to visit on saturday.
i hadn't seen or heard from him for a couple of months, usually we keep in touch by phone at the very least.
he told me that he had been going back to meetings and written 2 reinstatement letters.
Sorry to hear.
Quite a large group of us are plain trapped in there; would love to leave, but our family and friends are in. Also, for so many such as myself, having grown up indoctrinated, it's very difficult to see ourselves any other place.
Hey, perhaps you won't lose your family member; maybe with being out of the Organization for some time, he may have learned a way to keep it all balanced, by that I mean is to keep contact with the outside while still managing to stay inside the religion. It's what I do, really, to stay sane.
Go easy on the negative stuff you show, though, or he'll think it's Satan trying to attack him, then he'll avoid you like the plague. Just enjoy his company when you can and show him it's not all bad and evil outside of the Org.
hi all, this post comes from the e-watchman site, when i get the mags, i will post further.. http://e-jehovahs-witnesses.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=433.
the following is taken from the watchtower of january 15, 2006, page 23 under the heading 'resist the foremost apostate': .
'because of listening to the devil and not rejecting his lies, the first human pair apostatized.
I love it when you all quote from recent publications. It gives me something to really make a comment about.
Regarding this and other articles on the Internet and apostacy, the WBTS is only arousing curiosity in the minds of the its members.
Long live the World Wide Web!!!

and that christmas trees were pagan sticks.
she really did it this time.
he does not understand what a pagan stick is but he sure understands about santa not being real.
Keep children away from JWs during holiday time. It's the best to be safe.

i once talked to a jw about disfellowshipping and was curious to how can this be showing a christly love when you all out turn your back on them.
he gave me an answer about rightousness and unrightrousness having no fellowship (which is biblical) but it didnt make sense to me.
didnt seem applicable in many ways.
Disfellowshipping is a mind/emotions control tactic. No love involved in it whatsoever.

this is a story that i heard today...
my boss has some friends, we'll call them tom and beverly.
he was going through a divorce and my boss had a crush on him.
But Tom makes way too much money and provides way too much physical comfort for her to say no. I hope her new big house, Mercedes, and country club membership are worth it. And I hope he burns in hell.
If in fact there's a hell or a similar place where we go to pay for our knowingly wrong doings, I sincerely hope this woman you speak of, and all other women like her, burn right along with their men.
There's a similar case in the news today about a woman that has been set free after having spent 12 years in prison for helping her husband rape and kill a couple of young girls back in the 90s. This demon of a woman claimed that she was battered and she did it to protect herself and her family.
I fully trust Supreme beings are watching. People such as the woman of your story along with the woman that was just set free from prison, and many other women in similar situations must not/should not survive much longer, and neither should they all die a dignified death.
